05.01.2022 With my Melbourne Fringe hat on I am so excited that Melbourne Fringe Festival starts tomorrow! The Festival program is unlike anything you've seen before. It’...s happening from 12 29 November. We have over 250 events for you, created by artists who have dreamt up, worked and reworked art in the midst of a worldwide pandemic. We have built a platform for you to enjoy this work, and as well as digital, there's work you can take offline and outdoors. Our program is evolving, so keep an eye on your inbox for more exciting shows going on sale in the next few weeks. Get ready for 18 days of non-stop art, online, analogue, in your home and on the streets. The festival is mostly through our Digital Fringe platform but there are a number of socially distanced and Covid-19 safe one on one events and outdoor events. Our Digital Fringe platform has a digital foyer and chat function where you can mingle, just like IRL. This year we have heaps shows by Deaf and disabled artists check them out in our Disability and Deaf arts Guide to Fringe. There’s satirical comedy, a writing showcase, poetry told in Auslan, a 12 hour Animal Crossing game show, mental health advocacy, a spoken word showcase and much more. We also have lots of accessible shows - with Auslan interpreted shows, and captioned shows, audio described shows, sensory friendly performances and also some relaxed performances. We also allow for some watch on demand shows for people who can’t watch a show in one sitting. While many shows are at night, there are a range of shows across the day too. Our signature program features Deadly Fringe visual art exhibitions, a mass contemporary dance event, a Taiwanese showcase, and Dial an Artist where you can call an artist to solve a problem. Dial an Artist has two Auslan options. We’ve also got a jam packed XS kid’s program featuring a rain walk, a song writing workshop for people under 10 and over 60, and a disco led by Rawcus.

A large square distressed brick building is positioned in the bottom left, spanning to the centre. The bottom windows are lit pink, the top left window is not lit, and the top right window is lit blue with a deep blue jelly slug like shape coming out of the window. A purple jelly slug like shape is on the road outside of the brick building. Next to that building is a smaller building a terrace front house. It has a corrugated iron roof and fairy lights hanging from the verandah, and a long window that is lit blue. A bicycle is on the porch, a purple jelly slug shape is on the bicycle seat. On the roof of this smaller building is a chimney, and standing on the chimney is a series of shapes that form a person, they are peering into the chimney. A silver jelly slug is on the verandah roof. The sky is dark blue grey and stormy. In the top corner is the Melbourne Fringe logo. ‘Fringe’ is spelled out in bold white capital text that is exaggerated: the F is above the R, IN is above the E, and the G is diagonally left below the R. ‘Melbourne’ curves around the top left, and ‘Festival’ curves around the bottom right. ‘Art of the Impossible’ is in bold white capital letters in the bottom right.

05.01.2022 Get your tickets for Sunday 20 December! Doors open at 3 pm, show starts at 4 pm to 6 pm.

01.01.2022 Tomorrow, Saturday 21st, from 12-8pm our CEO, Caroline Bowditch, will be answering your calls as part of Melbourne Fringe’s Dial an Artist project.
